Animal Health & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity Network Workshop 15th March 2015 09.30 – 16.30 The second Annual Network Workshop is being held in the margins of the ClimateSmart Agriculture 2015 Global Science Conference (http://csa2015.cirad.fr/) at Crowne Plaza, Montpellier, France About the Network The Animal Health & Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Intensity Network of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (www.globalresearchalliance.org/) aims to bring together researchers from across the world to investigate links and synergies between efforts to reduce livestock disease and reducing GHG emissions intensity. Workshop objectives      Bring together researchers from different disciplines; Discuss Network activities and objectives; Share information on existing research and generate ideas for future collaborative work; Discuss links between the Network and other relevant initiatives; Identify data needs and expertise required to address the issue of Animal Health and GHG emissions intensity. Registration and further information The workshop takes place on Sunday 15th March. It is free for you to attend but please register beforehand as spaces are limited. Both researchers and research funders are invited to participate. To register please contact: Alice Willett, ADAS UK Ltd.
